Steam review snapshots
That being said, although what is here is great, and there is a decent amount of replayability and even a modding community…When you do not, you can suddenly have a ship launch a cruise missile with a torpedo on and drop it close…IF you do stealth well.Surprisingly immersive cold war era sub sim.Why it fits
Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by weird, single-player.
Who might skip it
